free on planet oat milk
the deepest end
some lives go off
the deepest end
what if they did not sell the soul
it got absconded

#1 thought
12 thoughts
run round my head
i select the very best one
wrap it carefully in the comics
we already read
when the moment comes
i will bring it out into the sun
for the trusted special ones
the undivided
there was light enough
to bring the work to completion
the sun soon corralled
behind the fence
wasted was the fullness
hanging heavy off
the vine
troubled were the thoughts
arising in the mind
i gave them my undivided
until the sky was red
then with a wink
sent them off
to bed

question
if you cannot question your thoughts the same way you question authority you will live under the influence of them and what a way to live

July 10
the warmth we once had between us began to burn. talking to you felt dangerous like dodging thrown knives or jumping a live wire. i don't know where it all went wrong or maybe i do. i cannot answer the phone when you call. not because i don't want to. it's just not safe anymore.

editorial
they bound the hay with cord
stacked in cubes on golden fields
like newspapers espousing causes
forming larger cubes on solid earth
fated for consumption

schizophrenia 1
the personality
is disordered they told him at the clinic
take these pills
he filled the prescription
in a fortnight by god he was freed from
the voices yet suddenly
terribly
alone

the galaxy within us
deep in the heart of the galaxy
known as samsung
the metals of rare earth secrete into the bloodstream
accounting for the odd behavior transcribed
in the last newspapers
on earth

let them run
this house
speaks to me in code
of bubbled paint
settles into earth
taking on the stress
so i won't have to
this is my home
cracks appear in the walls
let them run
i am thankful
splash of milk
in the tea

octo.pi
my emotion
a lonely cephalopod
reaching and grasping
tossed against a sky made
of salt water
turning inside out
blasting any blank page
with ink

migraine city
migraine city
you got into my head
two years earlier
you killed my friend
on the third day
quivering and wet with fever
like a flower facing the sun
i took charge and backed you into the lungs
come out and fight! Corona
you got nothin
on me
#katyamills
what you want won't help you much
what you want won't help you
any longer than the sweet brief season
in anticipation of getting it...
getting it... having it upon getting it...
until it no longer really interests you
because you already got it

sunny side up
match girl
at night i set my head ablaze
became a dangerous passionate thingthe world lit
a burnt end by dawn i toed the line at work
confused by forced and dreary duality
self-inflicted. for work today is life
and life is work. thank god
for the illumination

make out session with life
we stopped scrolling
and streaming we put away our phones
braved the weather
stepped into our colors
and made out well
at the dance

the multi boundless medias
the vitamins
medications
nothing could console
her sordid collection
of heartbroken

midnight
dressed down after the grand occasion i
made us a pot of midnight coffee we
recollected the week from beginning to end
the sun came back around
and sent us to bed

taraxacum erythrospermum
Dandelion was the name of the candy store in the town where I grew up. a tall man with a moustache used to keep shop with an anxious high whistle. he watched us kids by mirrors with hawk eyes. when they make you for a thief long enough, you want to prove them right. one day the whole gang flooded the store, eight of us, then took off like we done something wrong. we dropped our skateboards over the curb and rolled out. breaking apart like the seeds of a taraxacum erythrospermum blown by the wind. #katyamills

an age old scam
off the ave
they ditched the stolen bmw off this one road elbows the avenue the only witness the strawberry moon

take a chance on
summer nights
the heat was deep and sustained forcing
rolling blackouts like a wave over the power grid
you filled the void by malt liquor and fits of patriarchal tyranny
we have no candles i lied
descending the back stairwell i would rather
take a chance on
the street

love 16
love cannot be careless
or thoughtless without feeling
isolated. no.
the ace of hearts plays off an entire deck
love has a litmus test
sanctified the moment
something given is received
both hearts must turn
red
